Hi Gurus,
Due to some network glitch mirroring connection is disable. Is it possible establish the connection automatically once network connected or should i manually establish a mirroring connection.
I have one more question:
We are planning to mirroring totally 1000 databases to our DR site. I want know approximately how much bandwidth and disk size (Each database is 8 GB) is required.
We are using SQL 2005 standard edition with SP2 and 32 bit OS.
Please advice on this....
Advance thanks.
Pradeep.

No way to answer that, you'll have to test it out per database first.
I do hope those 1000 aren't on the same instance...

So you have around 200 databases per instance that you plan to mirror. Err, good luck with that...

It should reconnect once the network connection becomes available again.

How many databases can i run on a single instance?
I read about max on 32 bit, use not more then 10 database, but is there a max on 64 bit servers?
I thought i heard about 32 databases and then you have to make another instance. Is that the case?

Is it possible to having any data loss during the network failure?
Is it synchronizing all the data's after reconnecting the mirror (network connection becomes available again.
)
Is it required any manual action like full & log backup restoration before establish a connection?
Thanks.
Pradeep.

How many databases you can mirror on a single server relies on many factors such as workload, the number of CPUs, the capabilities of the server. You need to test it with a production workload to see how many databases are feasible with your environment.
You will not lose data during a network outage unless you lose the principal database. All of the transactions not yet mirrored will be preserved in the log file until mirroring reconnects and the transactions are transferred to the mirror.
I highly recommend you get a copy of my book. You can download the ebook version directly from the publisher.
